Jeannie and her family live on a farm next to a forest. One day Jeannie hears a cry coming from the forest:”Maa, maa” Dad thinks it sounds like a baby goat calling its mother. But when Mom and Jeannie search through the woods, they find a baby deer alone.

Jeannie knows she cannot keep it, but who will take care of the fawn if its mother does not return?

Laura Godwin’s simple poignant story is beautifully rendered in Stacy Schuett’s rich, glowing illustrations.
